"We moved into the council property above him in February last year and he was really nice and friendly at the start.

"But then a couple of weeks before Christmas he started being funny.

"He started banging on our ceiling so the walls were shaking. Then he smashed our fence down and started threatening me when I was outside.

"One morning he got up first thing in the morning and started going up and down the drive again and again to wake us up.

"He smokes drugs in the flat and makes life hell here.”

Mr Solly made the shock discovery after looking up his next door neighbour

Interpol want him for possession of 10kg of cannabis and the council haven't done anything

Matthew Solly

Mr Solly, a full-time carer, added: "I called the council, but they've done nothing about him. I've even spoken to my MP, but I don't know if he's actually been in touch with the police.

"Three weeks ago me and my partner got fed up and decided to look into him online. I couldn't believe it.

"I just typed his name into Google and one of the first things that came up was that he was wanted by Interpol.

"I went to the police straight away, and they just said they weren't aware because it wasn't on their system.

"They seemed a bit concerned that it wasn't on there, but didn't do anything.

"I rang back and they just said they could confirm he was wanted by Interpol.

"They claim because it's Interpol they are powerless to do anything about it.”

CCTV still of Ivor Fletcher at the property

Mr Solly and his girlfriend, who wishes to not be identified, are moving out of their property next month.

He said the local council is planning to put the flat up for sale once they leave despite knowing Fletcher’s behaviour and that he is a wanted man.

Mr Solly said: "He's a dangerous person. He got arrested for having a sharp object in a public place in September 2012 and got a community order for 12 months.

"Interpol want him for possession of 10kg of cannabis and the council haven't done anything."

A West Midlands police force spokesman said: “West Midlands Police is fully aware of this matter and is working within the national protocols to liaise with the Indian authorities in connection with the case.

"Given the complexities of these arrangements this can take some time."

A spokesman for Interpol said: "Interpol confirms that there is a valid public Red Notice for internationally wanted persons for Mr Ivor Fletcher."
